your understanding of capitalism is a system that has any private property at all

which is completely untrue

and has never been treated as such by anyone except for marx and his followers.

Private property is a right of individual to manage things he owns in a way he considers the most beneficial

@Advocatus Diaboli ok, so then by your definition of capitalism there is no system in the world that is capitalistic. Because every system has **some** public ownership

again, if your definition of capitalism is that there just **is** private ownership at all, then I do not accept your definition and think it is ludicrous

Please put in mind that personal property =/= private property

Lol wtf

@Advocatus Diaboli and there is public property in every system too, if you want me to abide by your differentiation

natural monopolies, for instance

national railways

fucking streetlights

and roads

sewage systems

Teddy Roosevelt will always be one of my favorite presidents

If there's a single corporation, no matter how small it is, and it's not run by the state nor it's a cooperative, then it's capitalism

Because the only purpose of private property is making profit

What do you mean by private property

@Advocatus Diaboli like I said, that is not capitalism

What is the purpose of profit though?

that's an absolutist take i've never heard of

that is your view of capitalism

it's a very uneducated and broad view

What is capitalism then?

Is it profit to fund something, or profit because you just want to be rich?

@Advocatus Diaboli answer me

What is private property to you

Capitalism exists on a spectrum.

@GucciToiletSalesman Scroll up a bit, there's my answer

K

Wait

Capitalism is not a political ideology, it's an economic system

By your definition every system EVER has been capitalistic

So is hunting grounds considered for profit?

What

there has never been a system where a man did not make something and sell it to someone for profit.

Because most hunting grounds are either state owned or private property

and there never will be one

USSR

wrong

1929-1956
